    Doing some searching and reading some post I see some drivers have a hernia. Is there a good type of hernia or a bad type of hernia? What caused them what have you done to fix it? Will the doctor pass you on 2 years or put you on the 1 year card?

    Mine is from abdominal surgery that did not heal correctly. I have a 2 year card. Now if you have one that causes pain and effects your working, then you will be denied.

    I had a double hernia op, inguinal hernia to be exact. I spotted it myself. Didn't need a doc to figure it out. Got it done and back to work in 3 weeks. Shouldn't have any effect on driving abilities. It's a very common ailment and can be fixed.
